Over 90 actresses decline role in play criticizing J.K. Rowling's gender beliefs, sparking speculation of ideological alignment.

In a surprising turn of events, more than 90 actresses have reportedly declined roles in a play that is critical of author J.K. Rowling's views on transgenderism. The play, titled "TERF," which stands for Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist, has faced unexpected resistance in casting its female roles.

The play's storyline revolves around an intervention from Harry Potter actors Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, and Daniel Radcliffe, who have publicly distanced themselves from Rowling due to her stance on transgender issues. Despite the producers' claims of good pay and a well-written script, actresses seem hesitant to take on the roles.

Barry Church-Woods, the creative producer of the play, expressed his surprise at the difficulty in recruiting the female cast. "This project has met some kind of resistance every step of the way, though I’ve been generally surprised by how difficult it has been for us to recruit the female cast in particular," he told The Telegraph.


The resistance from actresses has sparked speculation that they may have ideological misgivings about the play or are concerned about a potential backlash. This comes as Rowling has been engaged in a bitter battle of views over transgender laws in Scotland, which she believes infringe upon women's rights and safety.

Rowling, a modern-day legend known for her Harry Potter series, has been a vocal critic of the transgender movement, which she sees as a dangerous, narcissistic movement that takes away freedoms from others, with women being the greatest victims.

In response to the Harry Potter actors' public statements disagreeing with her stance, Rowling has been quick to defend her position. "Celebs who cosied up to a movement intent on eroding women’s hard-won rights and who used their platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors can save their apologies for traumatised detransitioners and vulnerable women reliant on single-sex spaces," she said.

The resistance from actresses to take on roles in the play critical of Rowling's views has led to speculation that they may agree with her stance on the issue. As a new kind of feminist standing up for women's rights, Rowling's views have resonated with many, despite the backlash from the transgender activist community.

The play's producers may face a daunting task in finding actresses willing to take on the roles, as many women may be hesitant to publicly oppose Rowling's views. However, according to their standards, they can always resort to casting a man in the female roles.

As the debate over transgender rights continues, Rowling's stance has sparked controversy and divided opinions. However, her unwavering commitment to defending women's rights has earned her the respect of many, including those who may not publicly support her views.
